2009 - Las Vegas, NV. A group of photographers forged a bond that grew... and grew... and grew! The group spawned a forum, a website, clothes and headbands. It's amazing that something so simple as a group of photographers who love to make people look cool could grow from a group of 8 to the large group of Members, Nominees and Followers/friends. I hope that we continue to grow and offer something unique to the paintball world and beyond in photography.

The PhotoMOB is a collaboration of photographers, ranging from hobbyists to professionals. We all have one similar interest: photography, in many cases, more specifically paintball photography. We have joined together, creating this group to bring our vision to the masses! We will take advantage of our numbers to learn from each other's strengths and improve on techniques that have been built by those who came before us. We will showcase our work and promote community beyond the field, by involving more and more photographers, hosting more and more events inside and outside of the sport.

To the players: We hope that you enjoy our work and support the photographers in the PhotoMOB! Hire them at events, give them thanks for making it to events, give them a water when they're in the pits! We are self policed and if someone in our group is not living up to the high standards, they will be demoted or removed from the thread and website. Because of that, you should feel quite confident in working with any of us. We'll be organizing new and exciting things for all of us to benefit from at events, ranging from "PhotoMOB PhotoBooths" to parties and group gatherings afterhours!

SYLPP! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL PAINTBALL PHOTOGRAPHER!

To the photographers: If you're a photographer and would like to be involved... it all starts here! Post up, get to know the crew... we'll make sure to invite you out to our next meet up at an event or elsewhere! Membership requires a nomination from a listed PhotoMOB member and final membership decision will be based on the person's contribution to the thread. Pending memberships will be listed under the member list! The movement starts here!

Probation List : Tread lightly... or you will be asked to leave!

This is for the best of the best photos in our thread. Any photo that is posted in the thread is eligible (fyi, any photo that's posted claiming that it should be in the HOF will receive an immediate denial). These must be taken by a PhotoMOB thread contributor. All viewers can nominate a photo that is posted if they deem it worthy. Thread nominations will need 5 "thumbs up" to count. If it is added to the HOF the thread starter should add the photo to the master post.

How Do I Become A Member of The PhotoMOB?
Becoming a member is very simple. All you need to do is participate! Post in the thread, post some of your photos, get to know us and come to a couple events! If you hang around for a while and we like what you're doing with/for photography, you can be nominated by one of the existing members!

RULES:
I do NOT WANT THIS THREAD CLOSED AGAIN!
The members posted in RED BOLD above are the NARCs! It is their responsibility as senior members of the PHOTOMOB to help police the thread. PM members who post questionable material and ask them kindly to remove it. If necessary, PM a moderator before someone outside of the thread does so for us.

This thread is for posting about Photography in general. Photos, discussion, ect is ok! Off topic posts are ok as well. However, if we go a page without discussing photos or posting photos, please help to get the thread back on track. NO VULGAR OR OFFENSIVE POSTS! We have impressionable children like Jacob in here and want his dad to keep on letting him come out with us!

*NEW RULE ADDITION:
-If you post photos that are not yours (for discussion purposes or
otherwise), please credit the photographer and if possible link to their
website.
-DO NOT POST PHOTOS FOR CRITIQUE WITHOUT NUMBERING THE SET.
THOSE IN THE KNOW WILL NOT REVIEW YOUR PHOTOS!

I guess that's about it... let's have some fun and make '11 the year of the PHOTOMOB MOVEMENT!

1D II N doesn't have anywhere near the noise handling capability for what I intend to shoot, and I'm really trying to move away from paintball photography.

Tom bought a II N and has spent the last month fighting with the guy he bought it from to get it repaired. It has this weird band of over-exposure right through the middle of the image. I feel bad for the guy, but he bought it from eBay and it was a seller that offered no extended warranty/return policy. Sold it "As Is". I'm going to go with a gripped 5D since I'm really pushing to get into more indoor related photography and having a full frame is going to be a real plus for me.

As far as the engagement shoots they are of the actual engagements themselves so having multiple people with me is going to draw a bit too much attention. One of which is going to happen on a helicopter landing pad at Midway and another is more local to me. I appreciate you wanting to help amigo, but in these two situations I can't really see a need for it. I'll keep you posted as more come up. I have a wedding in the spring already on the books, and another pending so you and Tom will be working those if you're up for it.

Dang.. That sucks (as far as the II N goes)

I might be in Disney again around the Spring. But definitely keep me updated

That weird band is a blown shutter.... Also the 1DIIn is a sports camera. If you are looking for something to use for portraits you want to go with the 5D.

Where in the manual does it say that? A camera gives exactly 0.000 ****s WHAT it's shooing. So calling something a sports camera, or a portrait camera is stupid as ****. The photographer determines the purpose of the camera, not the camera.

May look in to a classic later down the road as backup/full frame camera.

Every thread, lets start naming a "best pic in thread" and the best picture can be shown in the 1st post of the next thread. OG's/members can help decide which pic wins. whether the contest is open to non-members is up to us as a whole.
